United States presidential election, 1928

The United States presidential election, 1928 was held on 6 November 1928. US Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover was chosen as the Republican Party nominee, while Charles Curtis was selected as his running mate. Hoover faced opposition from Democratic Party nominee Al Smith and his running mate Joseph T. Robinson. The Republicans were identified with the booming economy of the 1920s, while the Democrats were associated with Catholicism, anti-Prohibitionism, and Tammany Hall. The result was a third consecutive Republican landslide, and Hoover even made inroads into the Solid South. Hoover won 444 electoral votes to Robinson's 87 electoral votes, but the ensuing Great Depression would ensure that a Republican would not be elected again until 1952.
